Where is Lisalbana, Magherafelt?
« on: Tuesday 28 April 20 08:58 BST (UK) »
Came across the place place name Lisalbana in 3 separate 1st Magherafelt Presbyterian baptism records from the 1820s/30s on RootsIreland.

I have no idea where this place is as it's not listed as a townland on https://www.townlands.ie/londonderry/magherafelt/ and Google doesn't turn up much either.

I did find another 2 references;

a Soldier listed from Lisalbana, Magherafelt who died in WW1 https://eddiesextracts.com/rohpci/rohmagherafeltunionrd.html

a 1950 marriage indexed on British Newspaper Archive "Mr James Paul. son of Mr. and Mrs. Lennox Paul, of Lisalbana. Magherafelt"

Anyone have any idea where this place is?

That site is good to use because you have options to help find the townland.

I checked Irish maps Geohive  http://map.geohive.ie/mapviewer.html

Found it on the Historic 6 inch B&W (1837- ?)- but it does not deliver a URL I can post

It translates as the "fort of the Scotsmen".

Last year I complained about this, you could post a link on the old version, (and it had a few other useful functions) I was told they were working on it.  ::)
